Tell us what’s happening:

I don’t know what’s wrong with my code and the error is You should return the string Shift must be an integer value. from your if statement.

Your code so far


# User Editable Region

def caesar(text, shift):
    if True:
       return 'Shift must be an integer value'


# User Editable Region

    alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
    shifted_alphabet = alphabet[shift:] + alphabet[:shift]
    translation_table = str.maketrans(alphabet + alphabet.upper(), shifted_alphabet + shifted_alphabet.upper())
    return text.translate(translation_table)

encrypted_text = caesar('freeCodeCamp', 3)
print(encrypted_text)
